Your local Facebook groups import automatically: town, neighborhood and HOA groups. Turn off any that are not your area.
LeadHunter USA is a local Facebook group monitoring app for HVAC contractors. It alerts you when homeowners in your area are asking for help with AC failures, no-heat calls, tune-ups, thermostat problems, duct work, and system replacements.
LeadHunter USA sends each alert as a push notification to your own phone, on iOS or Android. LeadHunter USA costs $75 a month flat, whether you watch three local groups or thirty. LeadHunter USA is read-only: it never posts, comments or messages anyone, on anyone’s behalf.

How it works
Choose where you work and what jobs you want. LeadHunter USA keeps watch and sends the right matches to your phone.
Your local Facebook groups import automatically: town, neighborhood and HOA groups. Turn off any that are not your area.
Focus on AC repair, heating, tune-ups, thermostats, ducts, replacements, and the calls you actually want.
When a matching homeowner request appears, your phone gets an alert so you can reach out quickly.
Lead examples
HVAC requests run to two extremes — the panic when a system quits in the middle of a heat wave, and the quiet shopping that happens in the months either side of it.
Examples written in the style of real neighborhood posts. Names and details are made up.

Why it is different
Homeowners often ask for help once, then hire whoever makes them feel confident first. LeadHunter USA helps you spot local requests faster, without sitting on your phone all day.
LeadHunter USA is not a lead marketplace. You pay one flat monthly price for the software, we do not sell leads at all, and there is no per-lead charge.
For scale: one hvac lead on Google Local Services Ads cost $50.21 in Q2 2026. LeadHunter USA is $75 a month, flat, however many you get. See what a lead costs in every trade.
Built around real local homeowner language.
HVAC has a demand curve nobody else on this list has. July and August are a flood, and September is the trough — the shoulder season where the phone goes quiet and the crew has too little to do. Anyone who has run an HVAC business knows this, so a page telling you that homeowners are searching for you right now, in the fall, is a page written by someone who has not.
What the shoulder season is actually good for is the work that is not an emergency. Tune-ups before the first cold night, the twenty-year-old unit somebody is finally getting quotes on, the maintenance plan a homeowner brings up only because their neighbor mentioned theirs. Those requests do not go to a lead marketplace, because the homeowner is not in a hurry and never opens one. They go into a Facebook group as a question.
And when the flood does arrive, being watchful is worth more than being ranked. An HVAC lead cost $50.21 on Google Local Services Ads in Q2 2026 — and that is the version that already went through a bidding platform. The same failure, ninety minutes earlier, was a neighbor posting that the house is at 84 and climbing.
HVAC cost-per-lead figure: Google Local Services Ads, Q2 2026 — 4,459 leads across $258,867 of real US contractor spend. Published by 99 Calls. The full table for all 21 trades is on its own page.
The same neighborhood post often mentions more than one trade.
Questions
No. LeadHunter USA offers a 7-day free trial and does not ask for a credit card to start it. Nothing is charged unless a plan is chosen at the end of the trial.
This page is built for HVAC contractors, but LeadHunter USA also supports other local service trades. You choose your profession and job filters during setup.
LeadHunter USA watches the local Facebook groups you have already joined: town, neighborhood and HOA groups. It checks each post against your hvac job types before anything is sent. A matching request arrives as a push notification on your own phone, in seconds to minutes.
LeadHunter USA runs on your own computer, not on our servers, and it only reads. It never posts, comments, likes or messages, and it never contacts a homeowner for you. You sign in to Facebook yourself, so we never see your password, and there are no bot accounts of ours sitting in your groups — it sees what you would see if you scrolled the feed yourself, on the machine you already use. Nobody can guarantee what a platform will do, and any vendor who gives you a guarantee is overselling, but read-only on your own login on your own computer is the least exposed way this can work.
Yes. The LeadHunter USA desktop app is the part that does the watching, and it needs to be running. It installs on Windows or Mac, runs quietly in the background while you work, and pushes matches to your phone — there are no tabs to keep open. If the computer sleeps, the watching stops until it wakes. The phone app is where you read the leads, not where they are found.
Then there is not much to watch, and that is the honest limit of how LeadHunter USA works — it sees your groups, not everybody’s. Most people fix it in ten minutes by joining the neighborhood groups for the areas they already work in. Those are where "anyone know a good plumber?" actually gets posted, and being a member of a few of the right local ones beats being in twenty broad ones.
No. LeadHunter USA charges $75 a month flat and includes every matching lead it finds, with no per-lead fee and no cap. The same $75 applies whether you watch three local groups or thirty.
What Groups Watcher, HuddleWatch and One Stop Social say about their own products, in their own words and checked daily, is at leadhunterusa.com/lead-alert-tools-compared. LeadHunter USA covers local Facebook groups, sends each match as a push notification to your phone, runs in its own app rather than your browser, and charges $75 a month flat with no limit on groups.
Different model. LeadHunter USA does not sell leads and is not a lead marketplace. LeadHunter USA charges $75 a month for software that watches the groups you have already joined, with no per-lead charge. The post itself is public to that group, so being early is the advantage rather than ownership.
